Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in ID. are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which may hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in ID. who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
